I dunno about that large sprocket, used it once on a killer climb and nearly flipped out. Researching a full X9 upgrade.

She looks a superb looking ride.I wish my bike could take that Granny gear but I think on a 20" wheel the derailluer would be scrapping on the ground.Love those blue brake hoses - really goes well with the Giant colour scheme IMHO.

Just bought my first Carbon road bike, a Tarmac Comp SL2 with full Shimano group set. Yes it's in racing red, the only colour I had seen it in, on bike exchange. Up untill Friday that is. The day after I bought my bike I find that the store I bought it from has a single frame in black with red highlights, and it looks rather mint. Tarmac Comp SL2 Frameset (2011)

I had the bike slightly upgraded compared to the specs in the add. Like I mentioned, I asked for the full 105 5700 group set (brakes and crankset were a lessor Shimano series) & added the 105 pedals from my old bike, changed the saddle to a Toupe Comp Gel Saddle, changed the wheels to Mavic Aksium. Added in an extra rib cage and a couple of bottles to go along with the Speed Freak Pack on offer at the moment, which includes the following products from Specialized: Propero Helmet, Comp Road Shoes, Rib Cage and Mini-Wedgie (valued at $499 RRP). A nice starter road bike and package for $2300.
